Cape York The Savage Frontier – Australia’s best selling book on Queensland’s Cape York. This is the book the politicians tried to ban in the Federal Parliament in 1997.

It delves into the massacres and beheadings of shipwrecked castaways of men andwomen and children, such as the Charles Eaton and Sperwer massacres. It tells of the Kennedy Expedition of Australia’s worst exploration disaster.

The most heart-wrenching story is of shipwrecked survivor, Barbara Thompson, held captive for five years by headhunters and finally rescued by the warship HMS Rattlesnake in 1849. It includes the poignant story of Lizzie Watson, who died with her baby escaping from aborigines on Lizard Island in an open water tank.

The irrefutable and astounding anthropological evidence that the original indigenous aborigine of Australia was of a Papuan race [Ulotrici] and not the present race of aborigines [Cymotrici] whose Pre-Dravidian ancestors invaded Australia from Southern India and Ceylon [Sri Lanka] and annihilated the original Papuan Aborigines of Australia.

The incredible story of shipwrecked castaway “Barbara Thompson. Wrecked on the “America” she was captured by headhunters and held for 5 years. She witnessed the “eating of human heads” and the “live burial of their babies”. [This is my favourite story and was the most difficult to research].

Cape York The Savage Frontier Chapter 5 – 10 “Somerset”

The amazing story of the Jardine Family and the establishment of a “Refuge for Castaways” at Australia’s most northern point Cape York in 1864 at beautiful Albany Pass. It includes the Jardine Cattle Drive when 10 men pushed 250 cattle over 1000 miles to Cape York through jungle, swamps and aboriginal attacks. It includes the massacre and beheading of the “Sperwer” crew and the fight to rescue a captured white woman. Finally came “The battle of Somerset” when the Yadagana aborigines marched on Somerset Refuge and tried to wipe out every man, woman and child only to be repulsed and defeated.
